CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the
risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from
local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is
necessary. Also the cord must be: (1) marked with an electrical
rating of 125 V., and at least 13 A., 1625 W., and (2) the cord must
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over acci-
dentally.
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one
blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
ELECTRIC POWER: If the electric circuit is overloaded with other
appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be
operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Overview
Welcome to the 21st century method of espresso, the technology
of the future — The 123 Spresso.
Your new 123 Spresso is so quick to brew, so easy to prepare –
there’s no guesswork. Now you can brew true Italian espressos,
lattés, mochas, and cappuccinos with no clumsy handles or filter
baskets, no wet, messy coffee grounds to dispose of. Just pure
coffee enjoyment.
The secret of great espresso is to start with superb coffee. Your
123 Spresso includes a supply of single-use pods. Each pod
brews one shot of pure, dark-roasted Arabica coffee. This coffee
has been custom-roasted by Malongo Rambouts, a century-old
European coffee roaster known for outstanding coffees.
Before First Use
Your machine was hand tested before shipping to ensure that it
functioned correctly. Before using for the first time, run the machine
once without coffee to rinse it out. To do so:
1. Plug the machine into a 120V ~ 60 Hz outlet.
2. Fill the Water Tank with 16 ounces of fresh water.
3. Replace the Water Tank to its original position, making sure it is
properly seated on the machine.
4. Close the Lid on the top of the Water Tank.
5. Place a heat resistant container or cup (approximately 10 ounces)
under the Coffee Spout, on top of the Cup Rest Grill.
6. Switch the machine to the “ON” position and turn the Temperature
Switch to the coffee cup icon.
7. After a couple of minutes
the Green “GO” Light
illuminates. Turn the
Function Selector (on
the side) to the
“COFFEE CUP”. This
starts the water flowing.

• Let approximately 2 ounces of hot water drain into the heat proof
container you placed on the Cup Rest Grill. There will be some
run-off water in the Water Overflow Tray. This is normal.
• Then turn the Function Selector back to the “NEUTRAL” position.
CAUTION: YOU MUST STOPTHE WATER FLOW BY TURNING
THE FUNCTION SELECTOR TO “NEUTRAL.” THE WATER
FLOW DOES NOT STOPAUTOMATICALLY.
8. When the water stops flowing from the coffee spout, carefully
dispose ofhot water in the cup and the Water Overflow Tray. Your
123 Spresso is now ready to use.

Filtering Water
The quality of water you use directly affects the taste of your coffee.
The better the water, the better the coffee. With 123 Spresso you can
use household tap water or spring water. Never use carbonated
water.
We’ve included a “universal” Water Filter Holder. The Holder accepts
commonly available cylinder-type filters, allowing you to use the brand
of your personal preference.
To use the Filter Holder, place it on top of the empty water tank. It fits
comfortably into the top of the tank. Add your filter. Always follow the
filter manufacturer’s directions for use, especially when using a
fresh filter.
When you have prepared the filter and placed it into the Holder on the
Water Tank Lid, you may add water.
Again, follow the filter manufacturer’s directions. Make sure that
water has actually flowed into the tank before you start brewing.
Filter flow rates vary from brand to brand, so always check first.

another. Always wait for the
Green “GO” Light. That’s
the signal to brew.

will automatically set up to brew
the next coffee.
CAUTION: YOU MUST STOP THE WATER FLOW BY TURNING

NOTE: If you prefer a strong, robust cup of coffee, brew one
ounce shots. If you prefer milder coffee, use more water
to suit your taste.
Let the coffee brew for approximately 10 - 15 seconds.
10. Turn the Function Selector to the “NEUTRAL” Position.
7. When the Green “GO”
Light illuminates, flip the
Function Selector (on the
side of the machine) to
“COFFEE CUP”.
MAKE SURE THE GREEN
“GO” LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED
BEFORE PLACING COFFEE
POD INTO THE MACHINE.
7. Turn the Function Selector from “NEUTRAL” to the “STEAM/
FROTH” Position.
8. The machine will automatically begin to release steam.
Prepare Cappuccinos,
Lattés, Mochas, Macchiatos
and More!
The steam function can be used to make hot milk for cafe latté or to
make froth for cappuccino.
1. Place your cup of espresso on the 123 Spresso handy Cup
Warmer. This will help keep the coffee warm.
2. Press the ON/OFF Switch to the “ON” position.
3. To prepare steam for froth, turn the Temperature Switch to
the “STEAM/FROTH” Position.
4. Slide Frothing Attachment onto Steam Nozzle as far as possible.
The Frothing Attachment fits snugly over the Steam Nozzle.
Always turn small pressure relief hole so that it is pointed
backwards, facing the machine. Swivel the frothing tube outward,
away from the machine and towards you.
Adjust the FrothingAttachment so that it fits down into a heat proof
cup or handled frothing pitcher with cold milk.
5. Fill the frothing pitcher 1/3 to 1/2 full with cold milk.
6. When the machine has heated to the correct temperature and is
ready to froth milk, the Green “GO” Light will illuminate.

Cappuccino/Coffee Drinks (continued)
9. When making froth for cappuccino, hold the Frothing
Attachment below the surface of the cold milk. Do not touch the
bottom of the pitcher with the FrothingAttachment. While frothing,
move the pitcher in a circular motion then up and down for best
results. This allows the steam to mix with air to create rich, creamy
froth. Foam should be dense with small, closely packed bubbles
for rich taste and long-lasting foam.
10. Wipe the Frothing Attachment with a clean, damp cloth.
11. To complete your cup of cappuccino, take the cup of espresso
from the Cup Warmer, pour 1 ounce of steamed milk into
espresso and spoon the froth on top of the coffee.
For the final touch, sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, chocolate
shavings, cocoa powder, etc. on top of the froth.
